A Virtual Blackbaud K-12 Meetup: Product Vision

Lauren Barker

At Blackbaud, our goal is to help educational institutions communicate meaningful performance, attract and retain students and families that are a good fit, ensure financial sustainability, work more efficiently and securely, and propel student success.We are fueling bigger, bolder impact with end-to-end school management from enrollment to tuition, learning management to student information, and fundraising to accounting. Blackbaud continues to pursue a total K–12 solution that manages the entire parent and student journey from applicant to alumni.



Our vision drives the enhancements we plan to deliver in Blackbaud school software over the next several years, including streamlined navigation, intelligent reporting with easier access to your data, AI-powered insights, and intuitive roles and tasks to administer appropriate permissions to your users.



We strive for an exceptional experience that drives positive student outcomes and rapid innovation harnessing the power of AI. At the center of that vision are connected systems that empower school staff to seamlessly pass data from one office to another, improving efficiency, reducing human error, and unifying school management.



We base everything we do on you, our customers, and these five key themes:

1. Enabling a Total School Solution campus-wide

2. Expanding access to education via financial aid and flexible payments

3. Delivering modern and delightful UX

4. Innovating via a robust Partner Network

5. Being a trusted partner for risk, data security, and compliance
